Subwoofers / Speakers

well...okay decided not to fire them down...got my 4 mj 18's today so hopefully all goes well i should be going deaf in no time

I recently picked up a 12" IA Death Row series for $80!! Unfortunetly I could not compare them sound-wise because the Death Row wouldn't fit in my enclosure's hole. SOO I figured I'd give you guys some pretty pictures to look at lol. The SI is a V1 Mag Claw w/ V3 softpart Recone, Enjoy! Vid of Mag off 240watt plate amp The Mag is heavier btw.

Hi ive been a lurker on this forum for awhile and yesterday decided to buy the MAW-15. I had a 12 Phoenix Gold RSd in 1.2 sealed and it didnt have enough output for my liking so i turned the bass boost up 1/4 and blew it, lol, noob mistake i know... The amp i had it running off of was the Alpine MRP-M850, gains set accordingly to 800rms. Well anyways im gonna try the MAW-15 and see what happens, i will put it in the recommended sealed enclosure of 2.2 i believe (Is that after displacement or before)? Now how much wattage can this thing take, ive heard it can do 700rms fine, some guy said he did 900 but i doubt it. Well i will have up to 800rms clean so power for it isnt a…

i have a beyond audio inhuman 15 it is a quad coil and i was wondering how i can hook up all 4 coils too one amp? any ideas??

Ok so I'm about to purchase 4 8" subs to go under the back seat of my silverado, I have been wondering if anyone has any experience with the RE audio RE8s, ReX8s, or the sundown audio e8s, as these three all have good enough mounting depths. Please tell me which you find to be the best. I am looking for the all around best sub out of the 3.

It seems like I need to build a new box for the BMW cabrio install I fixed. The car currently has a shitty ported box, which fires towards the back in a "tub" formed by a cosmetic fiberglass panel. Port fires to the front, into the ski port. Sub orientation has to stay as it is now, I don't want to build that cosmetic fiberglass panel. The main goal is to have a loud'ish sounding setup when the hardtop is off, trunk open and closed and something that can put up a half-decent score with the hardtop on. My first idea was to seal up the sub against the cosmetic FG panel as good as I can, use that as the sealed chamber of a bandpass box and have the ported chamber fire throug…

Whats the most valuable part of a subwoofer besides the magnet?

Right now i am rocking out the mid-sized sealed. But, i was looking to upgrade to a ported. can someone give me some help with a design, max dementions: W-35" x H-19" x D-25" it would be mdf. i built my last one and it came out great. I can do most stuff with the material (perfer it to be simple, so i don't have to spend weeks after school on it) I want to keep a lot of sq, but bump up the spl, i know that i will loose some of the tightness, but this would just be a second box anyway, you know, just to have, and for a project. if you needed to know, i have a Viper 1200d. -Travis Anyone know where to get some good black box capetting?

After tons of delays, and lots of waiting, the Daber Audio SQL DVC 12 is now ready. I will post more pics tonight as well as T/S specs. I know you guys have probably seen the below pictures, but I wanted to post them again as a reminder. :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

a friend has a blown 12.5 LF boston acoustics sub that had its coil unwind on him. its a single 2ohm coil - does anyone know where i can find a recone kit for this sub? thanks.

make the new 8 incher 2 ohms! and make it ork awesome off 100 watts! (omg somehow thats exactly what my T-4.65 puts out) lol i dunno im bored, and i need something to mate with my horns lol.

Hi, I currently have 1 kenwood KFC W3012 with an alpine m500 amp running at 4 Ohms with 300 watts in a custom ported enclosure (my dad and I built it and it's not that good). I bought it about 6 months ago and am not happy with my purchase. It gets moderately loud in the mid-range bass, but when the songs get lower, it gets super quiet and just sounds bad. It gets the job done, but thats about it, so it's time for an upgrade. I have a crown victoria with the police package so it has a HO alt already, and it has plenty of trunk space for a large enclosure. My goal is to have the loudest system around 5-700 (not including enclosure). I listen to rap/ hip hop I've been doing…

OK. Im building a box for my S-10 blazer and i need help with the port. The box is 38" wide 19" high and 14.5" Deep. It hold 4 RE SR 10 D4's. Id like the port to be now wider than 10" no taller than 6". id like it to be alot wider than taller just to kinda "fit" better... Thanks in advance -Mike

ive been wanting the BL for some time now but i think im goin to wait untill springfor a system . but i think i want to throw the alpines in the picture. which set ups will most likely get louder and sound somewhat better with the same power (1.5kw) and which would u choose for a first system?? ive also looked at MAC.com and saw there hellboy and crossover box and the crossover box caught my attention.are these boxes any good?? if so why? thanks

In a 2.0 @ 27hz for now, might modify a 3.2 @ 33hz for this sub.

just orders 1 15inch dc level and wondering what battery i should get for the engine and the trunk ?

So, from what I have read and come to understand, a larger ported box reduces the power required for a given driver to reach its mechanical limits. My question, then, is if you have the space to build a larger box, within the acceptable range for a given driver, and are not concerned with space or weight, would there be any reason to choose a smaller box? Given the same linear travel, would supplying more power to one woofer increase control and/or speed of the speaker vs the other? Or, since less power is being supplied and therefore stored in the coil, would delay due to inductance be reduced? Any other factors?

The reason I was asking is I have one but don't think it could take the abuse.

I have an alpine 2 channel amp that does 70RMS at 4 ohms and 120 RMS at 2 ohms. I'm looking for a set of 6.5 components to run as my front stage. So far I wont be running a rear stage. The lower the price the better and I dont want to buy used unless I can pick up in person etc, so classifieds are out. Long story. My MAX budget would be 120. I was considering some power bass S6C's, they are around 50$ shipped. What would you recommend?

I would like to keep my question simple at this point. Question has anyone use one of the AudioDynamics subwoofer enclosure design? If so was the enclosure worth the money and time. Thanks for all replys

I know every sub dont do very well in fourth orders , so what are some subs that will do very good in a fourth order? just to throw it out there,I see some people that are somewhat quiet then on the other hand i see some people with two subs that have the whole vehicle flexing. I know box design play a big part also

I just recently found out about these and I currently have DLS UP6i's in my 06 trailblazer. Would there be any advantage getting the AA Carbon's over the UP's? I would like a mid that does play better in the 50hz range. It might be just me or even the install, but I find the UP's to be a bit muddy when played loud. Would it be OK, to just swap the DLS's with the Carbon's? I have the doors deadened fairly well also Overall, my main goal is to have the mid dig a little deeper, and be a little cleaner when the volume is turned up. Thanks for any suggestions.

Topic speaks for itself. !st of is a Concept sub. Don't quite think it is supposed to stay like that.

due to space restraints, subs larger than 12's have to be up fired, are there any disadvantages of up firing a sealed sub in a trunk?

Wanted to get some opinions out there.. Which would you guys go with, 2 12w6v2's sealed or 1 12 Magnum ported? Either application would be powered by a Sundown 1500d. Looking for SQ and have decent output.
